Question

Nora is flying a kite, holding her hands a distance of 3 feet above the ground and

letting all the kite's string play out. She measures the angle of elevation from her
hand to the kite to be 23. If the string from the kite to her hand is 135 feet long, how
many feet is the kite above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a
foot if necessary.

Answer 1

`55.7 feet`

Explanation:

`h=sin(\left(23\right)*135)`

`sin(23)\approx0.39`

`h=0.39*135=52.65\left(feet\right)\`

`H=h+3`

`=52.65+3`

`=55.65\left(feet\right)`

`55.65\ feet\approx55.7\ feet`

I hope this helps you
